Iraqi leader wants to end interference

March 10, 2007

Americans and Iranians meet in Baghdad, while the daily bloodshed continues around them. Washington has led international efforts to impose tougher sanctions on Iran over its refusal to stop enriching uranium, and has accused Iran of backing Shi'ite militias in southern Iraq. Tehran denies both charges. A source at the multilateral talks said Iranian delegates used the forum to demand the release of several Iranians captured by U.S. forces in Iraq in recent months.
